I can try to dig up the patch we used to fix 64k block sizes for ext4,
and backport it to ext3, but to be honest I'm pretty overbooked
already as it is, and in general we've been trying to keep ext3
stable, which means in practice, bug fixes only.  The question is
whether 64k blocksize support is considered a bug fix or a new
feature....  so if you're switching to ext4 anyway, I'd probably just
not bother trying to fix it for ext3...
